talk to a g3 expert - 714.668.5600

The staff at G3SoilWorks includes hydrologists and hydrogelogists that have working knowledge of
lake, reservoir, and aquatic habitat management. The G3 team is highly experienced in the
identification and mitigation of potentially hazardous conditions in lake perimeters, lake bottoms,
or circulation conditions in these unique environments. Engineering investigations are routinely
performed to include slope stability, surface and subsurface erosion, and other hydro related
issues.

Man-made lakes and reservoirs encounter their own specific set of issues. Often a problem with a
water column can be determined by evaluating the water’s chemistry. By investigating circulation
efficiency, dissolved oxygen distribution, and temperature stratification, the G3 team can determine
the health of your water column. We can then recommend mitigation measures along with a lake
maintenance program. Our experts are seasoned in pump and aeration system evaluation and fountain
and bubbler evaluation, should an issue occur. We perform engineering investigations routinely to
determine stability of these man-made water bodies in order to address the cause of the following
commonly occurring problems in lakes and reservoirs:

Continued water loss from ponds

Erosion at bridge footings/abutments

Seepage and erosion along utility trenches

Seepage of pond water into storm drains

Groundwater seepage

Structural movement

Slope / Bank erosion

Sediment removal concepts

Should your issue be occurring in an aquatic habitat, our experts are qualified to investigate and
determine the cause. Some problems are common in man-made water bodies that are unique specifically
to aquatic habitats. The most common occurrences the G3 experts encounter and resolve on a routine
basis are:
